An Important Point...........

[Babak]

Hi,
I started my induction 14 days ago, did it by my memory of my -lost somewhere- atkins book, practically didn't lose weight! in the first ten days,,,,then with the help and support of guys in this forum I decided to get a new book !! and also got Fitday software, and god ! I noticed the difference,,, i noticed many veggies i ate are full of carbs, so I opened Fitday in my computer all the time, and every time i want to eat something ,even munchies , I add it to see what it will change , and it takes about 5-10 seconds,,,,,and with the help of Fitday and my atkins book, the last few day I got just 5-10 gr of carbs each day,,,,,,,and I lost 3 lbs! in 4 days!! (now I am wearing the pair of jeans I couldn't wear for some time !) (I am not sure how much calorie /calorie deficit is allowed ,as I also lost most of my appetite, each day I have about 500-700 calorie deficit!!!!, still thinking /reading about it)

My Point: FOLLOW THIS 20 GR CARBS RELIGOUSLY,,,,,,,even one small piece of artichoke or extra broccoli which we consider " eat more, it is healthy" would change the balance ,,,,and you wouldn't see the results..........................


Good Luck everybody,

Babak

Hi Babak,

Good for you for going out and grabbing another book and going by the "book".....that's what we have to do in order to do this properly...well done!

Thanks for the update and sharing what you're doing....keep it up!
